Thanks.....but still confused!!!!
Thanks all of you, i'm still pretty confused though! Does anyone know what you have to do to convert an FAA ATP to a JAA one? As far as i can tell u have to do the exams again? Do u really have to spend 8 months (or whatever it is) studying for them despite having studied for the FAA ATP exams?
I still fancy the idea of doing Phoenix Easts ab initio program to get FAA ATP and 1500 hrs then coming back to the UK and converting it. Another 8 months of studying kinda puts me off though!
The other option i'm looking at now is European Flight Trainings ab initio course in Florida which appears to get u the JAA ATPL with the same hours but costs more. Also, Phoenix seems to have got better reviews than EFT, and Daytona seems like a nicer place to live than Fort Pearce.
I cant believe how confusing and complicated all this FAA/CAA/JAA stuff is!!!!
